Class: Bard(wit) or Alchemist(royal alchemist)
Alignment: Neutral Good
Characters Link to Taldor, and specifically Oparra: Born and bred in Oparra and still living there, Sara is one of many bastard daughters of the baker, Bastion Nole, self proclaimed master of the Scone. A soft barely handsome man of aging years but his way with words (and his skill with his hands) are legendary. Also of great note is his unquestioned acceptance of his many offspring conceived out of wedlock, much to the detriment of his continued attempts at matrimony.
Livelihood: Sara is one of of a dozen Nole bastard offspring working in his bakery, and one of the wranglers of the little ones too young for regular work, the illegitimate ones that is. The current wife has three of her own and continues to watch the two from the previous marriage (one of the few that ended by natural causes: heart attack).
Motivation: Besides grunt bakery work and being a part time nanny, Sara has a deep passion for making things better in the city. Her father caters to the rich from Westpark and her mother was a poor tavern wench out of the Narrows (stabbed on the street for some coppers, some seven years ago). The vast gap between the rich and poor in their lovely city is appalling to her, and worse is the indifference of the nobility, caring more about this wigs than starving orphans.
Sara loves her county, so the thought of rebellion is not even a whisper in her mind. She wants change, not death. A rebellion of words, instead of fire. Luckily she has inherited her father's way with words, though quite often hers stabs where his caressed.
Why would someone pay attention to her politically? Sara has been vocal about public works to renovate neighborhoods and to provide education to the poorer communities. Speaking friends from her past as well as more enlightened members of the father's customer base (and irritating him). Forming groups in taverns, at the markets, anywhere people with listen. And if they don't, she tends to start yelling.
Rollplay vs Roleplay: Combat wise she is a newbie. Having been beaten up plenty in her life thanks to her sharp tongue, she has only received the basics in self defense by an interested suitor, though she was unaware that being the reason the ass was teaching her anything until a wandering hand got him a tongue lashing of the kind far from what he wanted. Magic training by a kindly old drunkard helps a little. So if she ever gets caught in a fight for her life, she'll rely on summoning or her sharp remarks.
Out of combat, she is a skill monkey focusing on words, with a couple of more disreputable ones she picked up in her early childhood in the Narrows.
Progression: Currently planning on continuing with bard. Though any plan I've ever come up with has fallen apart as I play the person.
Background: Covered mostly in the other bits. Poor a bastard kid in the narrows from a tavern waitress who was killed on the street one day in front of young Sara's eyes. Her father took her in, the esteemed baker, along with all his other illegitimate children to learn his trade and work in his shop (cheaply).
Timezone and posting: Central time zone. If the kids are not zombies in the morning, I get a post in before work. Otherwise it will be posting in the evening, but can manage a couple a night usually.
Experience and current games: Three years ago I was lucky enough to get accepted in my first and am still happily playing that one. Several others since, a few unfortunately inactive now. I am currently in five. Full disclosure, I am a horrible speller, bad bad bad bad, but technology makes my legible ... most of the time.
Description: A young woman with a delightful but commanding voice. Standard Taldan coloration, light brown hair and dark defiant eyes. She is quick tempered and unable to stand back while someone is being bullied, but otherwise a pleasant friend.
